This took my breath away last night: Macron offering Europe the protection of France's nuclear weapons. @zeit.de says that France, as an atomic power and independent of the US, sees itself as a model for Europe. 2/

Macron/France has been offering this version of European security for years but Germany had US protection (NATO) & Russian oil and gas to power the economy. It's taken time for Germany to see that they need a more local European model of sovereignty. Or that's my take after 4 recent yrs in DE.
And here is Der Spiegel asking whether Germany needs an atom bomb. This is how isolated Trump is making us in the U.S. This is the danger he presents to the world. Europe sees this. Our media choose not to. 3/
Rahm Emanuel noted a key focus as Ambassador to Japan was the Biden's Administration efforts to convince South Korea to not build nuclear weapons.
If the US can't be trusted both South Korea and Japan, as well as Poland and Germany, need nukes.
We're probably not going to add Iran to Russia and North Korea as our partners, but we are tight with the country that supplied 15 of the 20 9/11 hijackers.
Back on this continent, Canada's media does a better job of covering America than American media. This is the lead story in the Globe and Mail, about farmers in Kansas. 4/
#ff @nicolastenzer.bsky.social he's posting in French and in English. “Europe is going to have to replace the United States in terms of military power. If I were head of a European state, I'd declare that we'd go into a war economy immediately.” https://bsky.app/profile/seayou.bsky.social/post/3likobn7jbz2v

Trump, Vance and their people are on the side of Russia.
The Americans are not.
Once they shake themselves out of this MAGA stupor, it's over for traitor Trump - Krasnov

I think our path (and probably Poland's as well) will be to work with France when it comes to nuclear weapons.
Smart cooperation and distribution of capabilities and burdens is the way to go for us.
you'll be screaming for Canadian blood soon enough :-(

Europe should be already fully running a War economy 🤷🏻♀️
Building up our defense should be the one and only priority inside Europe when we want to survive
Everything else is meaningless and just wasting time, energy and distracting from the horrifying reality
